Pefore the appeal was taken, MIR.
Powderly called General Worthy
Foreman Gritiiths, of Chicago to
the chair, and, in a short but vehement
speech, called upon the convention to
defeat the resolution. He said no true
Knight could be an Anarchist. He ap-

words not to pervert the purpose of the

George Francis Train succeeded in
creating sensation on the 10Th at the
tomb Of Abraham Lincoln, at Spring
field, Hi. He visited the place in COM
pany with Mrs. Belva Lockwood and a
number Of other people. Suddenly
Train startled everybody by declaring
unqualifiedly that the remains in sar-
cophagus were not those of Lincoln, but
only dummy sham. His hearers
were greatly shocked. Afterwards
Train explained that he had reason to
believe that at the time of the theft of
LlHculn's body substitution was made
ana that the whole affair was precon-
certed by detectives in league with un-
principled shylocks, who paid the
thieves TO 90 to the penitentiary and
who would sooner or later be hawking
about the remains of Lincoln as
an attraction for the dime muse
ums. From Springfield he went

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Oct. LIT. V.
Powderiy's paper, the Journal of United
Labor, to be issued on Saturday, speak
Ing OF the government and sumptuary
law" will say that among the most
common objections to legislative regula-
ton of the liquor trafii is that of re-
vival OF the old sumptuary laws. This
means that the government has no right
to say what we shall eat or drink.
What, then, is to be done with
our laws regulating poisonous
articles? Men may sell swill milk and
infect your household with typhoid.
Butchers may sell diseased meat and in
oculate you with trichinosis. Butter
dealers may palm off upon you old tai
low manipulated with chemicals for gilt
edged butter at 90 cents per pound.
There is right of self protection left
with every state and community as well
as the individual, and how much better
that this right should be exercised in
the prevention OF evil rather than in its
redress.
As to the recognition of the colored
delegates at the Minneapolis conven-
ton, the paper says: "Why labor or
ganlzatiOn should receive more criticism
than that august body, the Senate of the
United States, we are at loss to con-
ceiye. These colored members possess
every recommendation of the white
members. The Knights have a strong
following in the colored people. They
are good Knights and thus far have oc-
casioned no trouble to the order We
extend to them our hearty recognition"

Insane Asylum.
Chicago, ILL.,, Oct 13.-The mayor his
morning directed the police department
to summarily suppress George Francis
Train and to not permit him to speak
again if he makes any further demon
strations he will be taken to the lock-
up until he can be legally adjudged in
sane and committed to a lunatic asylum.
The largest audience that he has vet
had in the city greeted George Francis
Train at the Twelfth Street Turn Hall
last night, there being between 1920
and 300 present, At last nights enter
tainment, many of those who got in the
hall were Simon pure Anarchists and
took his talk seriously, and ii will be
| surprising If nothing more serious than
laughter results rom Trains utterances
Last night he became a little bold.
When he said the police would not
allow him to sell his paper, he dared
them to stop him there, and when a
score of those present jumped up and
volunteered to sell his anarchistic
sheet, he supplied them with copies,
which were in moment sold His
lpeech during the evening consisted OF
few sentences on every topic that came
to his mind. He took vote on n prop
ositjon to hang Jay Gould, and an unani-
nous ave" was the result. After TAX
ing a similar vote on ''all those in favor
OF the constitutional right to carry
arms" he dared the police to arrest
him.
Train then called on Mrs. Parsons,
and for ten or fifteen minutes she ha-
rangued the crowd. She promised to
build for the workingmen of Chicago a
hall. with a library aed reading room,
which would accommodate 10000 and
donate it 10 them. This was greeted with
long and loud cheering. Alterward she
said: Il am going to build my friend

TAHLEQUAH, /. T., Oct. 14.-Serious
trouble is feared here when the Chero-
kee Council meets next Monday. 1t Is
hard to see how bloodshed can be avert
ed. When the late election was over,
on the face of the returns, as certified
to by the nine national clerks,
Joel Mayes was declared elected, as
chief by 143 majority. Since then
the returns have been so changed as to
count in Robert Bunch, the opposition
candidate. Both parties are gathering
in force and declare their respective
candidates will be seated. The only
way to settle this question is by force,
there being no court to appeal to. 1t
will be a fight between corrupt men and
peace-loving citizens. Trouble, it is
stated, will result in opening up the
country and destroying tribal relations.
Both sides are armed for pitched bat
